ok..so W. can say a few words. That aint going to change a thing.

You would be much better served by contacting your state legislative representatives and trying to get them to do more as far as money for law enforcement. Contact the mayor of your city and your city council, people in the local governement can do far more than GWB.

IMO, part of the problem in the US now is that too many people are looking to the Feds to be the answer to all the problems. The US is not set up that way. In fact, the Federal Government should probably be 10% or less of the governance that we fall under, instead, its something closer to 90% of our governance. The problems we all deal with each and every day are local issues, and I for one do not want some yahoo in DC who knows nothing of my lifestyle trying to govern it from afar.

Ok..my rant is over.

And it really sucks what happened to this guy. I hope they find the person who hit him, and the people who passed by without offering assistance. If the second group can't be charged with a crime, well their names can be published so their neighbors know what scum they are.
